According to this wiki page I should be able to specify a button for exiting emulators on recalbox. I followed the directions and used putty for Windows and logged in as root. I copied the text on this page:

https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Enable-Gpio-button-to-close-emulator-with-only-one-button-press

However after pasting and entering the text, I get no prompt or script that allows me to specify which button I want to use. After pressing enter I get this message:

/recalbox/share/sys 100% [=========>] 635 --.-KB/s in 0s
Starting button

Then it just shows the command prompt (#).

I'm guessing the link in the text is no longer valid?

Any help?

I just realized that this might be in the wrong forum.

There are a lot of fake SanDisk cards out there. Have tried testing the cards with a counterfeit program?

I’m not sure where to post this but I was just curious, now that pi has released a 64bit version of the pi4, how does that affect updates to recalbox (or emulation on the pi in general)? With its release there will also be a 64bit OS along with it, is porting trivial or is it like starting from scratch?

Lastly, what is the overall plan/strategy going forward for supporting 32bit and 64bit pi’s?

Thanks

I'm trying netplay again and I feel I'm doing everything right but I have yet to be able to connect to anyone.

I'm using 6.1.1
No intro rom sets
I've tried manually setting port forwarding on my router as well as using upnp.
In the netplay lobby it will show a compatible game and give me a green checkmark along with other games that aren't compatible.

If I try connecting to a host (samurai showdown V for example), it goes to a black screen before eventually saying failed to initialize netplay and then it loads the game.

I've tried hosting a game and it says "you've joined as player 1". Also the nickname "nick" shows up everytime no matter when I try.

If I go to canyouseeme.org it doesn't show the ports as open no matter how I have configured the router.

In the recalbox netplay settings I've tried both none and new york in the mitm option.

What am I doing wrong?

@paradadf said in Exit emulator with sn30 pro?:

@ivwshane that‘s called L3.

I figured it out. The default is start + left analog button (as in pressing the stick into the controller).

I’m sure this is a stupid question but I cannot find the answer.

I’m using an sn30 pro with recalbox 6.1.1. It paired incredibly easy and I didn’t configure any of the buttons.
On my generic snes wired controller that I also did not configure, to exit one would press but the start and select buttons. This does not work despite all other buttons seemingly to be mapped similarly to the generic snes controller.

The short version:
How do I exit an emulator on a sn30 pro with default settings?

@Zaphod

Thanks for the link but it looks like the files need to be uncompressed first. The batch file will help as far as automating the process once everything is uncompressed. I think I’ll transfer everything to my 2tb nvme drive first to make this going even faster.

@paradadf

Interesting, I didn't know CHD was an option. Do you happen to know if I can go from zip to CHD without uncompressing the files first? The zip files contain bin/cue files.

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out the best way to setup my psx roms folder for recalbox.

According to the wiki it looks like the default emulator supports zip files, is this correct? Inside my zip files are bin/cue files. The way I have it currently setup takes the least amount of space while still preserving the sound and video quality.

If I can't use zip files, what is the best format to use that will retain the quality and take up the least amount of space? Eboot?

These are all NTSC games so it doesn't sound like I'll need anything like the sbi files but I'm not sure.

The other thing that might change things is that several of my games are multi disc (ffVII for example), does that charge anything?

Thanks

When the pi3+ came out it was said that a total rewrite of the core was required (I may not have the terminology correct). Are we looking at the same type of rewrite required or will this be something akin to recompiling the code to recognize the new hardware?

I think I found the answer to the hard drive install. Apparently you can use etcher and write the image to a hard drive. There isn't a whole lot of details but I think I can figure it out.

I tried running recalbox on a shuttle PC (sb61g2) which I believe came out in 2004 and has a 3ghz P4 in it but either it can't run it or the initial setup is taking a really long time. :0
